Thomas Pleasant

Thomas M. Pleasant Jr. lived with the kind of energy that often marks small-business owners and devoted family members. Born February 5, 1992, he built a life in and around Bloomington, Indiana, where he started and ran Tom’s Green Cleaning — a local business that reflected his entrepreneurial drive and practical care for community spaces.

Friends and family described Thomas as a go‑getter with a ready sense of humor who often put others first. Those personal qualities showed both in his work and in his role as a father; family accounts and memorial notices indicate that his relationships and everyday presence mattered most to those close to him. Thomas enjoyed ordinary pleasures — travel, streaming entertainment and video games are mentioned in funeral-home summaries — the small comforts that often shape a person’s quieter moments.

Although public records and news accounts focus on the circumstances of his death in July 2020, the available and reliable sources emphasize that Thomas was more than the last entry in a report. The community remembered a young man who ran his own business, cared for his child or children, and had a warm, outgoing personality. He also appears in local business and relief records as the proprietor of Tom’s Green Cleaning, including pandemic-era small-business assistance listings that point to his efforts to sustain his work during difficult times.

Thomas’s life left an imprint on family members, customers, and neighbors who recall a helpful, determined person who approached work and family with seriousness and good humor. While public records note that he died following a shooting on the night of July 22, 2020, what endures in family and community references is the memory of Thomas’s daily life — his work ethic, his laughter, and the care he showed to others. This remembrance honors those human sides: a son, a father, an entrepreneur, and someone whose presence mattered to people who loved him.
